<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Mikjo0, post: 134227, member: 3565&quot;]I&#039;ve been looking around the web and found a few interesting facts about Jacobean glass.There are numerous cases of &quot;secret portraits&quot; of Bonnie Prince Charlie in glassware,mirrors and the like to allow supporters to see him without revealing their allegiance to his cause.Go about halfway down the page and look for &quot;glasses and poitics&quot;.</p><p><a href="http://www.cosmos-club.org/web/journals/1999/kaplan.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.cosmos-club.org/web/journals/1999/kaplan.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.cosmos-club.org/web/journals/1999/kaplan.html</a></p><p>Another example of this secrecy is this:</p><p>Fort William is the home of the West Highland Museum which contains the famous secret portrait of Bonnie Prince Charlie, which can only be seen if the picture is reflected on to the curved surface of a polished cylinder.See the face on the cylinder?</p><p>Probably none of this has anything to do with your cousin&#039;s decanter but still interesting.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
